1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Hi, Bill, how are you good? Glenn? Kristen lou how coach?

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Good boy? That was fun yesterday? Yeah, it was so

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: How was it when you sit by all week, you prepare,

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: you designed everything, and suddenly lo and behold you look

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: out in the field and say, it's all working. We

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: did some good work this week and the guys were energized.

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: You had them ready for the game. Yeah, players played well,

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: and um, I thought the coaches did a great job

9
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: of getting the players ready and played with great um

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: energy and toughness. Um. You know, we ran the ball

11
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: and did a pretty good job on the Chargers. Good

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: running games. So that's always a good place to start.

13
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: Was it was it important for you guys to get

14
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: the ball first on offense because you guys want the

15
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: toss you elected to receive. I know it goes back

16
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: and forth. Was that something that yeah? Week, I mean,

17
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, we can't control who's gonna win the toss

18
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: or not. Anything is to get out there is to

19
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: is to be productive, and um, you know, we gave

20
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: the first drive defensively, but overall we had a good,

21
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: pretty good first half on defense on third down and offensively,

22
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: we you know, scored on a lot of those possessions,

23
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: so it's always good. You know. Last Monday we talked

24
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: about defensively, the charges, what they do. You kind of

25
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: expected them to kind of continue to do six d

26
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: B sevn dbs and they did. Is that just Rob

27
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: Gronkowski was a beast in the running game. It seemed

28
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: like you guys just wanted to overpower them with the

29
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: run early set everything up. Well. We had some production

30
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: in the running game and that's always a good thing. Um,

31
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: we also were able to throw the ball. We had

32
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: a good balance, So yeah, I mean it's really it's

33
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: it comes down to great execution and uh, you know

34
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: we had that from Tom Julie and James Roll. I

35
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: mean all the guys in the passing game. Phil Dorset

36
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: came up there and gave us some big plays too,

37
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: and obviously round the wall pretty well. You know when

38
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: when you have that kind of defense and you just

39
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: get through playing the ravens and you're asking corners or

40
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: safeties to put their nose in there and stop the run.

41
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: We were talking before that commitment for them to do

42
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: it two weeks in a row, I would think would

43
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: be difficult. If you seen that with those kind of

44
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: guys being asked to stop the run a couple of

45
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: weeks in a row, which just kind of takes its toll. Yeah,

46
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the Chargers are pretty tough football team. I

47
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't I wouldn't question that on them. Look, some things

48
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: don't well for us that yesterday I went right, and

49
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, and that's great, But I wouldn't take anyway

50
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: from the Chargers. They were a good football team. They

51
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: had a great year and I don't know we had

52
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: our day yesterday, But you know, that's the way it

53
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: is in this league. Can you kind of explain what

54
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: you were doing defensively yesterday? Obviously they've got five in

55
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, you've got six, seven, eight at

56
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: one time. You get nobody back at at safety, moving around,

57
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: sending different guys through different gaps, and yet you could

58
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: see it after a while, the Chargers offensive lineman would

59
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: come up and there'd be nobody there for them to block.

60
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: Is it a matter of what you do to confuse

61
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: the rule of order on that offensive line as to

62
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: who their assignment is. Is that part of what you're

63
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: doing there to confuse them? Well, we don't always know

64
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: what exactly what they're in with protection they're in or

65
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do, But certainly disguise is part

66
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: of it. And our guys upfronted a nice job. I

67
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: thought Devon and Patrick did a job at safeties and

68
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: exchanging some responsibilities and changing their looks a little bit.

69
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: So um. Again, it really comes down to good team defense.

70
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: But in the end, when the ball snapped, you've got

71
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: to be able to execute it, and that was the key.

72
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: We had good coverage, uh with a with a good

73
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: pass rush, and when you combine those two things together,

74
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: that's you're gonna have some some success on defense. And

75
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: we had that. You know, there's um. The offense is

76
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: such a copycat league, and the use of the fullback

77
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: it seems like it's coming back in vogue again. It's

78
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 1: like the way you guys use Devlin, how successful you are.

79
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: Do you see that as something that's going to re

80
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: emerge as a priority position for just most teams or

81
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: is it just specific to who's available. Yeah, that's a

82
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: tough question, Christian. I don't really have the answer to that.

83
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: I just know we have to, you know, do what

84
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: we feel as best for our football team and for

85
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: our offense. So what other teams in the league decided

86
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: to do what the trends are and all that. I mean,

87
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: I don't really know. Um. So you know, that position

88
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: has really has been so many different guys have played

89
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: that position. They've all had success with it. You know,

90
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: Troy Brown, Welker, Dion Branch, He's like, keep hitting this thing, um,

91
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: and obviously Edelman all great athletes. Is there something that's

92
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: right forgot about Danny the Dola? I know, I forgot

93
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: we call him by the Dola? Um. Is there something

94
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: that sets him apart Edelman from the other guys based

95
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: on just you know, all the different guys that have

96
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: come out, they all have different traits. But what sets

97
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: him apart from the from those other guys that played

98
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: the same position. Well, like you said, they've all had

99
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: a lot of production. Most of Deon's production was on

100
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: the perimeter. But um, the other four guys. You know,

101
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: Elman's sort of like Troy. He's very strong. I think Troy's,

102
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: you know, pound for pound, one of the stronger players

103
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: we've had, Um, Curtis Martin. You know guys like that

104
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: that were really had good balance and good good playing

105
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: strength to either get open or make yards after the catch. Um,

106
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: Whereas Wes and Danny were very quick and you know,

107
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: maybe a little had a lot of craftiness to their game.

108
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: But Julian's he's has it all. Really, He's a he's

109
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: a good route runner, he's very tough, competitive, hard guy

110
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: to tackle. And again, all those guys were punt returners

111
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: that you mentioned, so the ability to make yards of

112
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: the ball in their hand is important. So Sony Michelle

113
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: obviously a huge game yesterday. And I'm curious because the

114
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: goal line, it seemed like at times maybe was something

115
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: that he wasn't successful early early in the season. But

116
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: this game here, I think he had won from the one,

117
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: one from the five. Is that part of growth of

118
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: a running back or would you say, is that execution

119
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: maybe he wasn't successful earlier in the year. Have you

120
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: seen him grow in that area? I think Sony's done

121
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: a good job running the ball for us. All of

122
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: our backs have been productive. And um, a goal line

123
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: offense again is part running back, but it's part everything else.

124
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: So UM, you know, I think when he has his chances,

125
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna get the ball in the end zone. Um.

126
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: And if you know, there's a wall of bodies there.

127
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: Then sometimes it's it's hard, you know, occasionally he backs

128
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: misreads just like everything else. But for the most part,

129
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,559
Speaker 1: I think he does a good job with his vision

130
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: and he's a good, good player with good playing strength

131
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: and balance and can handle contact. So he did a

132
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: good job that yesterday, run through a couple of arm tackles. Well,

133
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: people say that your first playoff game for this guy,

134
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: do you look at and say, I mean, he did

135
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: come from Georgia, right, He's some big games, national title games.

136
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: Does that sort of help that mindset maybe for a

137
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: kid that maybe he didn't play in a big program.

138
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: But as far as that getting the jitters off of

139
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: playing in the first playoff game, yeah, I don't think

140
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: that's how many you've played, and I think it's how

141
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: prepared you are and how well you play. So all right,

142
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: talking about preparation, you guys had a very successful defensive

143
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: game plan against the pocket quarterback this week. It is

144
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: totally different. You're dealing with a unique scrambler who has

145
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: tremendous accuracy throwing the ball on the run, and he

146
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: doesn't bill when he's looking at a receiver over there

147
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: to the left and he throws it over to the

148
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: receiver on the right. How different is your game plan

149
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: this week and how different do you have to get

150
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: into the mindset of your players that this is much

151
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: different than what we did last week. Well, I don't

152
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: think that'll take long at all. I think our players

153
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: understand that we played against him earlier in the year,

154
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: and we've played against other players like him even in

155
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: recent weeks, you know, going to Allen at Buffalo for example,

156
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: of guys that could really move around and throw the

157
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: ball in the runs. So you're right, it'll be a different,

158
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: different type of game given his skill set, and it

159
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: is a very explosive group of receivers. Coach Reid does

160
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 1: a great job game planning and creating matchups and creating

161
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: problems to the defense. So it'll be a big challenge

162
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: for all of this coaching staff and our players and

163
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: just everybody to do a good job to try to

164
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: compete against these guys. How difficult is it for DBS

165
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: to not get committed one way or the other with

166
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: Mahomes Because when he's on that run, it's usually he's

167
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: throwing the football right, but every once in a while

168
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: he'll run one off for twenty thirty yards. Well, you've

169
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: always got to stay back until he crosses the line

170
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. You never want to go forward and let

171
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: him dump it over your head and have nobody on

172
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: the receiver. So once he crosses the line, he can't

173
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: throw it anymore than he's a runner. Then you have

174
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: to plan like a runner. But until then, if you're

175
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: in pass coverage. Now, if you're in the past rush,

176
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: that's different. But if you're in pass coverage, you've got

177
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: to and I'll respect your coverage unless you have some

178
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: kind of rule that that trumps that or overrides it.

179
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,559
Speaker 1: But in a normal situation, it's coverage first until until

180
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: he starts running. So if you're I guess, if you're

181
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: in man and you see this this guy scrambling, is

182
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: the rule to just I guess there would be like

183
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: an urge to turn around to see what's going on.

184
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: Is the rule to just stay on the guy that

185
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: you're covering and just keep following no matter what's happening. Thus,

186
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: you know, a guy just become wide open. Well, you

187
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: always want to stay in your man, but you can,

188
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, split your vision and stay in your man.

189
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: Check the quarterback, get back on your man, or sometimes

190
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: you can feel your man if he's close to you,

191
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: not saying hold him, but feel him and then look

192
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: back for the quarterback. And if you lose contact with

193
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: your touch, then get your eyes back on the receiver.

194
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: If you don't, then you can keep looking at the quarterback.

195
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: So again, those are all basic fundamentals that it doesn't

196
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: matter who the quarterback is or who the receiver is.

197
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: Teach those in day one, probably teach them in junior

198
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: high school. But that's you know, that's what you have

199
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: to do. If if you leave them and while you're

200
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: looking at the quarterback, your guys open, they dump it

201
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: to them. I mean, who else is going to cover them?

202
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: It's gotta be you there. Um. I mean a lot's

203
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: been made of this, you know, playing an Arrowhead and

204
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: I played there every year for seven years and for me,

205
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: it was the loudest, most intimidating stadium I'd ever played in. UM. Now,

206
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: these last time, most of these guys, I guess when

207
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: you play the I don't know if half these guys

208
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: we're even on the team. The last time you guys

209
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: went went there replicating that environment, I mean, what are

210
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: we thinking about for the mixtape, I mean what kind

211
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: of music. I mean, it's gonna have to be really loud.

212
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: You got to go to eleven with this one, right. Well,

213
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: it's um, Look, the hardest thing about playing an Arrowhead

214
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: is the Chiefs. Then they're a great football team, top

215
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: seat in the ANFC this year, so obviously they're very good,

216
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: and uh, playing them anywhere is hard. Um, they're good

217
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: at home, but they're good. They're good everywhere. So we're

218
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: gonna have to do a great job of competing against

219
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and whatever else it is. It is whether

220
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: crowd and noise. Um, you know, there's there's nothing we

221
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: can really do about any of that. But we can't

222
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: control is our performance and our execution, and that's what

223
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna focus on. Coach. Last time we played the Chiefs,

224
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: we talked about Tyreek Hill and saying that he's fast

225
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: and seeing it live in person to two different things,

226
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: like just how fast he is fast? Seeing it once,

227
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: does it help these guys like Devin somebody to just

228
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: sit there and say, yeah, I thought I had an angle,

229
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: but now I know better Because I think it always

230
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: helps to play against against guys and just know their

231
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: skills and how you match up against them, and maybe

232
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: what you you can do and what you can't do

233
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: or what you need to you know, as you say,

234
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: take a different angle or play a little bit different

235
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: leverage or whatever it is. So, Um, they have that

236
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: experience against us, We have that experience against them. We'll

237
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: see how it goes. But sure, I think knowing your competition,

238
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: knowing the skills of the of the guy year up

239
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: against or the guy on the other side of the ball,

240
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: is always helpful. How different are they without Kareem Hunt?

241
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: Damian Williams has been very good for them. But yeah, again,

242
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: this is a team that has a lot of weapons,

243
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: and uh, you can't just stop one guy or zero

244
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: and on one guy. They have tight ends, receivers, running back,

245
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: running backs and obviously the quarterback, and a good offensive

246
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: line and a good play caller and a great game

247
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: planner in Andy Reid. So everything's a problem. Um, we're

248
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: gonna play good team defense. There's no way around it.

249
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no one guy it's gonna stop this offense.

250
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: We're gonna need all eleven guys um performing well and

251
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: being being sound and consistent what we do. When you

252
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: looked at their game film from from Saturday. Did you

253
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: think they were better defensively because Houston is now back

254
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: healthy on that other side, or was there's something else

255
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: you saw? Yeah, well I made sure having having their players,

256
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, having Sorenson back, having Houston back then, of

257
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: course those are are good things. So look, they're they're

258
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: gonna have their guys out there. We're gonna have our

259
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: guys out there. We have good players. They have good players.

260
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: We have good coaches, they have good coaches. We'll see

261
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: how it goes. It's gonna be a very competitive matchup,

262
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: and you know, we know we're gonna have to play

263
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: our best game when you're trying to figure out a

264
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: game plan for a team that you've already played and

265
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: it was a high scoring game, it was a track

266
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: meet with two teams, and knowing that maybe, and maybe

267
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm wrong about this, the Kansas City can do it

268
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: maybe quicker. In three or four plays, you seem to

269
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: move the chains. Yeah, okay, so and you seem to

270
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: move the chains a little bit better. Does it make

271
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: more sense for you to try to play a game

272
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 1: in which you can control the football a lot more,

273
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: You can control that clock a lot more. Keep that

274
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: ball away from them where they can score. Just like that. Well,

275
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: I think it's important to score points. So if that's

276
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: long drives as long drives, if its short drives as

277
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: short drives, but you got to score points. I don't

278
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: think you're gonna beat them with you know, seven nine points.

279
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody's done that all year. So we're gonna

280
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: have to score, and we're gonna have to keep them

281
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: from scoring at the rate that they've they scored at times.

282
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: So any end the games about points. So I don't

283
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: think it's about time of possession or about yards or

284
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: about sacks or about you know that kind of thing.

285
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: It's it's really about points, which comes down to big

286
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: plays and red area production, and then it goes to

287
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: third turnovers, which turnovers are turnovers and third down is

288
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: an element of turnovers because it's potentially exchange of the ball.

289
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: So you know, that's kind of the order for me.

290
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: That's it's points first and then then turnovers and then

291
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: third down. So so Tom in the field post game,

292
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: and I'm paraphrasing because I don't know the word for word,

293
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: but he said in his interview, he said, not bad

294
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: for a team that stinks that can't beat anybody. So

295
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: it seemed like almost it was you playing it up

296
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: like nobody thought you could beat this team. Well, San

297
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: Diego was gonna come in here and beat you, and

298
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: the dynasty was gonna be over? Did it? Sort of?

299
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: You guys use that this week, maybe some of the stuff,

300
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: the outside noise do your benefit. I think we're gonna

301
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: go out there and do our best every week. We're

302
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: gonna go out there and compete this week, and it's

303
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: like we did last week. We'll let the final score

304
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: decide how it goes. All right, we're gonna we're you

305
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: got one. I was just gonna make one more thing

306
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: talking about because we've talked about that's with you during

307
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: the course of the season, that this team has not

308
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: performed the same way on the road that they have

309
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: at home. Do you make that a point of emphasis

310
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: this week? Yeah. We try to play well every week,

311
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: So that's what we're gonna say. We're gonna try to

312
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: play well at home on the road. We try to

313
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: play well every week on all three phases of the game.

314
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: So we're gonna try to do the same thing this week. Yeah,

315
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: Brady talked about on the morning show talked about the

316
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: last time you guys were out there and you lost

317
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: to Kansas City, that there was a lot of emotional conversations,

318
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, with the guys on the team as far

319
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: as getting ready, how to handle it just you know,

320
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, taking care of their own business, you know,

321
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: having trouble on the road. Is that the message this week?

322
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: Also how to prepare, how to you know, how how

323
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: what to be ready for, what to get used to

324
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: when you head out there again. Yeah, I think the

325
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: most important thing this week is to be ready to

326
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: play the Chiefs. Whatever the weather is, whatever everything else is,

327
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: it is, but we can we can control our preparation

328
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: and our performance against their football team, um in regular

329
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: situations and in special situations that are specific to that

330
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: particular play. So that's what we're gonna get ready for. Actually,

331
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: it was mild out here yesterday, didn't you think? Yeah,

332
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: was pretty cool? But yeah small, yeah, not bad. Well,

333
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: you cheated a little bit. You didn't wear the hoodie,

334
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: had a big puffy, little you know jacket out there, right, Yeah,

335
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: but no, it wasn't It wasn't bad. Look some middle

336
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: of the middle of January and Foxboro. So there were

337
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: some need a lot of SUNTANEO. You wanted to see

338
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: the great cutoff, the cut off hoodie. You know twenty degrees.

339
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: They wanted to see the cut off hoodie. Just go sleeveless? Yeah,

340
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: why do guys do that? Why do players go sleeveless

341
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: when it's like freezing cold? Are they just trying to

342
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: be macho? I mean, would I wore sleeves? Okay, so California.

343
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: Of course she's gonna win out. I don't get that.

344
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: Why would you want to be warm? I mean, Brady

345
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: said it last week. The one advantage you have in

346
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: playing and practicing in cold is you know what to

347
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: wear and be able to move. You know, your limbs,

348
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: it's perfect, your limbs, your limbs. I'll save you from

349
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: that one. Coach, you got a question. Well, we're gonna

350
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,600

Speaker 1: a guy that uh just Hall of Fame? Yeah? Absolutely, yeah,

369
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,160

370
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,239
Speaker 1: when they run out of over defense. He blocked them

371
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: out there. There was no double teams, there was no

372
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he but he blocked them yea better

373
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: than anybody else did. So yeah, I put it far

374
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: up there with you know, put I'm up there with

375
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: all the best of them. So you didn't pick either one, right, No,

376
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: he can't said that before that that as good as

377
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: a coach there wasn't much that I enjoyed more than

378
00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: watching Mark go against lt and Banks one on one

379
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: tight ends outside linebackers in training camp. Those were three

380
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: of the best football players that made each other better,

381
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: that competed on every down, that knew who they were

382
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: up against and gave it their very best. And um,

383
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: I mean, whichever two of the three guys were in there,

384
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: you were watching two good football players really compete in

385
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: just the one on one what you're kind of describing

386
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: in a one on one setting, And um, you know,

387
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: they all made each other better. You know, they all

388
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: won their share, they all lost their share, but they

389
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: all made each other better. And I mean I was

390
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: some real football. Yeah, some real football. I Oh you

391
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: see that sometimes and they all would tell you that

392
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: they didn't go against anybody in the game what they're

393
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: practicing against. So I feel very fortunate to have been

394
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: able to witness that for several years. You know, you

395
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: play against a guy once a year, and you know

396
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: then you don't see him again until whenever you play

397
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: him again, might be next year or a couple of

398
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: years later or whatever. Those guys he saw it, you know,

399
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: in training camp literally every day, and and other times

400
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: during the season. Um, so it was. It was pretty special.

401
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: That was those were the good old days. Pads every

402
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: day anything currently, any any matchups that you've seen, I

403
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,719
Speaker 1: don't know as I would put that one. That one

404
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: to me in a class by itself. I mean, you're

405
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, the greatest defensive player that ever

406
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: played against in my opinion, a Hall of Fame tight end.

407
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: That was a tremendous football player, a tremendous blocker. He

408
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 1: didn't have the receiving stats because of the type of

409
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: game that was played then in the way he played, Um,

410
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: but he had plenty. I mean, look, this guy could run,

411
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: catch and make big plays and it was impossible to tackle.

412
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: So um yeah, I put him up there with anybody

413
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: that's a complete as a complete tight end. There may

414
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: be other guys who had a little more passing skill, um,

415
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: but in terms of complete tight end, it could do

416
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: it all. He was. He was good all right. So

417
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: that's our drive of the week. Congratulations coach, twelfth uh

418
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game. Good luck in Kansas City and we

419
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: expect to see you here Monday. Oh yeah, Goody's on

420
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: the board Monday. We'll take a quick break and we'll

421
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: be right back.
